Plitcicka jezera National Park

Gardens & Parks
The Plitcicka jezera National Park is one of the eight stunningly beautiful national parks in Croatia. In 1949 it was proclaimed Croatia’s first national park and since 1979 the park is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Today it covers an area just under 300 km².

The park is primarily covered in forest vegetation and smaller parts of grasslands, whereas the famous lakes, cover just under 1% of the total park area. The lake system is composed of 16 named and several smaller unnamed lakes, cascading one into the next. Due to the geological substrate and characteristic hydrogeological conditions, the lake system has been divided into the Upper and Lower lakes. 

The lakes end in the impressive waterfalls Sastavci, with the Korana River springing under the base of the falls.

The park has seven different routes to tour the lake system, and four hiking trails.
